Wrapping It Up Details

End of Year Get Together 
Looking forward to celebrating the end of the school year ad well as saying goodbye to those who are heading on to new adventures next year! If you are able please meet at Tami Schippers house (6177 Terravita Way, Holland) around 4 on Wednesday, May 30. Feel free to park in the grassy lot across the street from her house. 

Running Records
Please remember to give your running records to Miska. They will be delivered to the next year's teachers ASAP. Thank you!

Report Cards and MAP Scores
Report Cards will be printed and packed next week. Please let Pat or Miska know when your reports are ready for the presses! The decision was made not to send home the MAP scores this spring. We are developing longitudinal data of these assessments and will, therefore, not send them home with the spring report cards.

Yearbook Distribution
Our yearbooks are here! THANK YOU for all of your work, Jenna and Karen! They look just beautiful! Please distribute the yearbooks to students on Wednesday, May 30. Your class set will be near your mailbox in the copy room.

Classroom Purchases
As we go into the summer, please remember not to make any purchases until after July 1. Purchases made anytime before that date might not be reimbursed. Please let me know if this poses a problem for you. We have until June 6 to turn in receipts for this year.

Instructional Coach
A huge thank you to Amanda Brouwer for her many years leading our preschool team! Her gifts with children, learning, leading adults and consulting with parents have been SO valuable as we continue to build our preschool program! She will be stepping down from her role of instructional coach over preschool but thankfully will remain serving our community by loving and growing her 3's as their teacher. We welcome Tammy Grassmid to the new role of instructional coach and before/after school care director! Welcome aboard, Tammy! We appreciate your servant heart and desire to give as well!

Refrigerator 
Lunch will be provided on the last day of school. Since you won't have to take your lunch bag along that day, would you mind clearing out your goodies in the fridge? We don't want to accidentally dip into anyone's 3-month old salsa next August. 😱

Weekend
Have a wonderful weekend with some time to relax, enjoy the sunshine, catch a little poison ivy, whatever's your pleasure (I may try to avoid the latter this time). May God bless each of you as you celebrate the sacrifices and gift that our country is!
